WAC 173-340-740 from the Model Toxics Control Act (MTCA) Cleanup Regulation, published February 12, 2001, establishing unrestricted land use soil cleanup standards.

Specifies default exposure parameters: soil ingestion rate 200 mg/day, average body

This Washington State regulation (WAC 173-340-747) establishes methods for determining safe soil contamination levels that protect groundwater quality at cleanup sites. It outlines several scientific approaches, including three-phase and four-phase partitioning models, leaching tests, and empirical demonstrations, to calculate the maximum allowable concentration of hazardous substances in soil before they risk contaminating groundwater. The regulation requires that soil concentrations not cause groundwater cleanup level exceedances and not result in the buildup of nonaqueous phase liquids in or on groundwater.
